What has the Sharon Govt. done to promote peace? Show me! >>>>> Absolutely nothing...You can't promote peace with War raging..All you can do is to try to win the war...Sharon came to power after Barak failed miserably to persuade Arafat to take Peace turn...Sharon's mandate is war, not peace Clearly US Gvn has come to the same conclusion with respect to Israeli-Arab conflict and its own war with Terror

I second goldsnow's answer, and I ask you back, what has the Arafat government ever done to promote peace? Arafat rejected Clinton's offers, which were about the best any Israeli government could ever offer, and started a war. Sharon, who had previously been unelectable, was hired to prosecute the war. When the war is done, or both sides get thoroughly sick of it, then we may see new negotiations, not until then. When you say "promote peace", what you really mean is, revive the Oslo Accords, don't you? Forget it, the Oslo Accords are dead, dead, dead. They relied on Israel contracting out its security to Yasser Arafat. After Arafat reneged on every single pledge he ever made, the Israelis are not likely to offer him the same deal again. Arafat has shown that he cannot accept any peace that requires him to say, the conflict is over, I accept Israel within such-and-such a border. Until there is a Palestinian leadership who can say this, there will be no peace. Where is the Palestinian peace camp? Did it ever exist? Where are the peaceful Palestinian leadership, I don't see them. 'Palestine' is a thugocracy ruled by the gun. They've got a couple of intellectuals who know how to say peaceful things to useful idiots in the Western press, but that's hardly the same thing.
